Beauty is a Beast XS1100

This four-cylinder beast enjoyed a series of wins on the Australian endurance racing circuit between 1978 and 1981, which was a remarkable achievement considering its shaft drive (affectionately termed “Xsessive”), and was a unique mix of muscle with long distance touring capabilities.
Looking like the past 40 years had worn her down, she was a good candidate for a full cafe racer transformation.
Classy cream with a pearl shimmer for her tank, a black frame and engine, with shiny satin-silver header pipes for “catch your eye” contrast, this beauty has a new lease on life.
